The 2026 Premier Lacrosse League playoffs are down to the final four teams at Zions Bank Stadium in Salt Lake City. The Denver Outlaws face the Utah Archers, followed by the Boston Cannons against the Philadelphia Waterdogs. Winners advance to the championship on Sept. 20 at Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey.

In the first game, Utah's Tom Schreiber returns after missing the entire regular season with a knee injury. He is the PLL's only three-time MVP. Utah allowed just 9.4 goals per game, the second-best mark all-time, anchored by goalie Brett Dobson, who has a 73.3% save percentage in playoff history.

Denver's Brennan O'Neill has 19 assists this season, more than his previous two years combined. Logan Wisnauskas set a shooting percentage record at 59.5%, and Jake Piseno became the first defenseman with 10+ points in consecutive seasons.

In the second game, CJ Kirst faces brothers Colin and Connor. He is an MVP finalist with teammate Michael Sowers, who has a seven-game hat trick streak. Boston's Marcus Holman is six goals shy of the all-time record, and goalie JC Higginbotham has led the Cannons to a 4-0 record.
